Michael Schumacher’s Bike Ride

I came across this news article today that stated that Seven-time Formula One Champion, Michael Schumacher ditched his four-wheeled ferrari for the two-wheeler of a Ducati! Don't be surprised!! It was just a fun-drive….

After racing at Monaco and testing at Barcelona last week, Ferrari's Michael Schumacher spent his weekend at the Mugello circuit in Italy — on the back of a grand prix two-wheeler.The seven time world champion, with his Rascasse indiscretion now a week in the past, took to the back berth of Ducati's two-seat MotoGP motorcycle at the series' Italian grand prix.After sitting behind motorcycling veteran Randy Mamola for two laps, 37-year-old Schumacher can now add the experience to the laps he did last winter on a regular MotoGP racer.He joked: ''I patted Randy on the back a couple of times to remind him that I've got Silverstone next weekend!''And, at the conclusion of his second MotoGP experience, the German insisted that – perhaps unlike Mugello race winner Valentino Rossi – he is not contemplating a switch of codes.''I think (now) I have done enough,'' Schumacher smiled. ''I'm not planning to become a bike racer!''
